Muratec F-98 Polling, Setting the reports TCRs, Regular polling, TCROff Program/Enter

Setting the reports: TCRs

You can set your fax machine to print a transmit confirmation report (TCR). You can receive a TCR after sending a fax to any Group 3 fax machine.

The TCR gives you the following information for each communication:

•Remote location called

•Resolution mode

•Starting date and time

•Duration, in minutes and seconds

•Length, in number of pages

•Result of the call

•Any special operations — For example, a fax call made using an optional handset will appear as “Manual”

•Sample of the document — An image of the first page of the document

If an error occurs, the TCR tells you the remote location called and the error code and error message (see pages 3.8–3.10).

To set the printing for a TCR:

1 Press PROGRAM, G, 3, ENTER. The LCD will show:

TCR:Off

Program/Enter

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3.

Otherwise, proceed to step 2.

2 To toggle the setting, press PROGRAM once or twice until your desired choice appears. Here, we’ve chosen On.

TCR:On

Program/Enter

3 Press ENTER to save the setting.

Beyond the basics

To turn on (or off) the TCR feature for only the next fax transmission, press REPORT.

What happens when pressing this key will vary depending upon the setting you specified previously:

•If the setting is on (the light next to the key glows), the fax machine disables the printing of the TCR (the light doesn’t glow).

•If the setting is off (the light doesn’t glow), the fax machine activates automatic printing of a TCR (the light glows).

If you’re scanning or transmitting a document and you want to turn on (or off) the TCR feature for this fax transmission only:

•If you specified transmission from memory, press REPORT while the fax scans your document into memory.

•If you specified transmission from the feeder, press REPORT while the fax machine communicates with the other fax machine.

after your current transmission, your machine will return to the setting you speci- fied previously (step 2, left column).

Polling

Polling allows someone to fax a document to you without the other person having to make (and pay for) the call. Your machine can perform:

•Regular polling — Retrieves a document from the remote fax machine.

•F-Code polling — Retrieves a document stored as a file in the remote F-Code com- patible fax. This is possible in communications with Muratec fax machines, as well as other manufacturers’ F-Code compatible fax machines.

For more information on the F-Code polling feature, see “F-Code communication” (pages 2.28-2.33).

Regular polling

To perform regular polling of a document from any remote fax machine:

1 Make sure that the document is actually sitting in the remote fax machine.

2 Press COM-OPTIONSthree times and then press ENTER. The LCD will show:

Enter Fax Number

_

3 Enter the remote fax machine’s number by either pressing a one-touch key, entering a speed-dial number or just dialing the number normally by using the numeric keypad.
